This kiss naturally deepened from a light one.
In this moment, there were no words, yet a thousand things were said: all the tenderness, indulgence, and reluctance passed between their lips and teeth.
After a long time, they finally parted their lips from each other.
"Don’t ever leave me again, understand?"
Gazing at her face, his voice was gentle but carried an undertone of command.
During the day and more when she had been missing, he felt like he was in Hell. Leng Zimo had never known that loving someone could be such torment.
This woman belonged to him, and she always would!
He wouldn’t allow her to get hurt, let alone leave.
Noticing the scabbed abrasion on her flank, he kissed gently beside her wound, then raised his face to look at her with heartache.
"Does it still hurt?"
Luo Xiaoqian shook her head, her face flushed.
"I’ll kill him!" he said seriously. "When I find that person, I’m definitely going to kill him!"
"Don’t!" She lifted her hand to steady his face. "It’s enough for the law to punish him. I don’t want you to kill someone for me again; it’s too dangerous."
Leng Zimo was silent, just lowering his face again to kiss her lips.
In his heart, however, he had already made a firm decision: he would not let that person off.
Anyone who had hurt her would pay the price!
...
...
The next day, when Luo Xiaoqian woke up, it was already 10 a.m.
"You mean..." Luo Xiaoqian suddenly snapped to her senses, flustered as she threw off the blanket and got out of bed, grabbed a piece of clothing at random to throw on, and ran towards the bathroom.
Seeing her like this, Leng Zimo just laughed softly. "You don’t need to be so nervous. I’ve instructed them to wait for my call upstairs. They won’t come up until I call them."
Only then did Luo Xiaoqian relax. "You scared me to death; I thought they were already up here!"
Leng Zimo raised an eyebrow. "I don’t have the habit of letting other women into my bedroom. Remember to tell them not to enter our bedroom, or I’ll fire them on the spot."
"Got it, President Leng!" Luo Xiaoqian smiled at him. "Shouldn’t you be getting up too? By this time, you’ll be late for work, won’t you?"
"I’ve already called Ailin to say I’ll be late. They’ll come up and then I’ll leave," said Leng Zimo as he got out of bed. "I won’t give anyone a chance to hurt you ever again."
Seeing the serious expression on his face, Luo Xiaoqian turned and walked past him. "Starting today, I’ll take good care of myself for you!"
"Good girl!" Leng Zimo indulgently patted her head. "Now, go take a shower."
After they both showered and changed clothes, Leng Zimo finally made a call to inform Gao Jie and Lin Ye to come upstairs together.
